General Life Update
Wow, the last time I wrote anything was in July of 2014. I've been sort of busy since then, but I'l try to sum it up.
In May 2014, I got a job working at a gas station deli. That was worse than working at McDonald's. They expected just 3 people to do a job made for 6 people. The manager claimed it was because she wanted us to get paid more, but I know it was really because the company itself didn't want to hire more people and lose more money. I thought I could do it until I had a terrible anxiety attack and hid in the freezer for 10 minutes. I couldn't handle managers sabotaging people, coworkers being sneaky and telling lies, and them just making bullshit excuses to make you work harder. Plus, some customers were hard to deal with, but they werent the main problem. I got yelled at for doing something wrong, even though I never did it before and the "training" for that job was just terrible. That whole job was just a mess, so I quit in October 2014.
I finally got to see my bf in September 2014. We went to a progressive metal festival in Atlanta, GA for a week. It was the best week of my whole year. That was probably the happiest I've felt in a very very very very long time. We walked around Atlanta, ate at different restaurants, and saw awesome bands at the concerts. It was so amazing and I can't wait to be with him again in October 2015.
We're also planning on moving me from Virginia to Oregon, where he lives. It'll take a while, but it can be done. Plus living here is just so terrible. Minimum wage is higher where my bf lives and I know I'll be happier because I wont always be going from job to job every 5 to 8 months. Plus My bf and I have been together for almost 3 years now and I just really want to start my life with him.
Anyway, I got another job working at TJ Maxx as a seasonal stocker in November 2014. That job was fine and people weren't assholes. It only lasted until January 2015 though.
Right now I'm still looking for a job, again. There's this terrible cycle that I have with jobs. It's not that I can't keep them. It's just that the job is not worth me feeling like shit. I can work shitty jobs, I just cant be treated like shit by people for a long period of time for no reason at all.

That job sounded horrible. I am happy you are not working there anymore,If someone makes a mistake at work they should not be yelled at. Thats unprofessional. Good luck on your job search.Glad to hear you and your bf had such a nice time.
